The Florida Chamber of Commerce has released its annual jobs and competitiveness agenda, Where We Stand 2026, outlining the business lobby’s legislative priorities for the 2026 Legislative Session.
Released during the 2026 Florida Chamber Legislative Fly-In, the agenda reflects input from local businesses, local chambers of commerce, key policymakers, trade groups and industry leaders across the state. The Chamber said the agenda aligns state policy priorities with the Florida 2030 Blueprint, its long-term roadmap for growing Florida’s economy.
“Florida’s continued success is driven by a unified business community that believes in free enterprise and has a long-term vision for Florida’s economic competitiveness,” said David Sweeney, Chairman of the Board for RS&H and the Florida Chamber of Commerce.
“The Florida Chamber’s 2026 Where We Stand agenda keeps Florida on the path where businesses can continue to grow, families can prosper and opportunity reaches every zip code.”
The agenda calls for further legal and regulatory changes that enhance the protections lawmakers passed in the 2023 torts package, arguing those measures help control costs for consumers and employers.
The Chamber is also prioritizing policies that would encourage more competition in the state’s property insurance market, expand workforce housing options and boost infrastructure investments as Florida’s population continues growing.
Other goals include strengthening education and workforce training pipelines, improving access to health care and behavioral health services, and maintaining fiscal policies the organization says support a stable business climate.
“Florida’s growth did not happen by chance, and maintaining our competitive edge requires thoughtful policy choices that put the long-term ahead of the short-term and ensuring we don’t take any steps backward,” Florida Chamber President and CEO Mark Wilson said. “With 2026 Where We Stand, the Florida Chamber remains laser-focused on the Florida 2030 Blueprint goal of becoming a top 10 global economy.”
